Dallas refused to address LB in the draft or the offseason

[Rayman70]

we aren't a real team on d. We are an assembly of individuals that are watching out for their own business model. Couldn't be more obvious. I think Von Miller and Quinnen, Clark are fine, but we have nothing much around them honestly. On the back 7 its gawd awful outside of Downs. Nobody played well back there. A true organizational loss and failure week 1.

If you use PFF to make your points, you shouldn't create threads.

I don’t need numbers to back up what I saw last year and last night

Then why use them?

Last year we had 20% of the talent we have now. Eberflus is laughing.

Eight new starters with a DC who is 34 and never called players before. They didn't play a single down in preseason.

Didn't help that the Giants feel in three of their own fumbles either.

And no, the offense didn't help much either, which it seemingly never does in games like that.

 

[Parcells4Life]

Well you reap what you sow. Not sure how anyone in the FO or coaching staff watched last year and thought it was a good idea to not treat it as a top priority, especially for a position that relatively is inexpensive to invest resources in

It’s been reported they tried for numerous FA LB but they chose to sign elsewhere.

They chose elsewhere because they got offered more money.

I used them to drive home a point. I’m not arguing any of the points you made, however when you turnover JAGs with more JAGs why would you expect different results?

I agree. Offense was disappointing but I’m less inclined to worry about that side of the ball. They’ll figure it out

They're not JAGs. They're rookies, and free agents who have never player together in a new scheme with a new DC.

The Giants almost committed 5 turnovers the first half. There was some productivity that just didn't bounce Dallas's way.

The two possession swing at the half did them in. They were exhausted after that.

I understand. I would like to see the guys succeed. My overall point is when you aren’t willing to spend real assets whether it be dollars or high draft picks you’re going to end up with guys that do not produce results. You have to have patience but patience is for teams that are rebuilding. We are not structured as a rebuilding team. That is the problem to me

One of the best comments Ive seen in a long time in here.

Well…. As long as the FO tried…..

I agree with that. I'm just a huge hater of PFF (and statistical arguments in general), so I was picking on you a bit. My apologies.

This team needs disciplined team defense. The sooner the start playing that way, the sooner they start winning.

Our front office is a bunch of amateurs playing fantasy football.

They drafted Barham in the third round and also traded for Winters.

Maybe you just disagree with the choices they made?

To be fair I don’t like PFF either. No worries my friend. We are all on the same boat for better or worse lol

 

[cowboyblue22]

looks a like about a 6 or seven win team

 

[john van brocklin]

Dallas refused to address hiring a competent General Manager this offseason.

This is the root of the problem
Until that gets fixed we will never have a team that’s competitive in the playoffs

Well.

If Drafting Barham and trading for Winters is ignoring it, sure.

They also took a swing in FA on a couple and lost out for various reasons.

But go ahead and tell us again how it was ignored.

 

[MikeT22]

They will be the starters very soon. And good ones.

Winters is a backup, Overshown has proven he cant stay healthy. I like Barham but he’s a rookie 3rd rounder.

Its been a few years since we were forced to start a couple of DBs at LB. Still haven’t adequately addressed the position. Typical of Jerruh
